The PhaserShare Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet II standards. With the PhaserShare Ethernet card, you can connect the printer directly to an Ethernet network using twisted pair (10BASE-T) or thin coax (10BASE2) cables. Connecting the printer using thick coax (10BASE5) requires an adapter; contact your dealer to obtain adapters, cables, and terminators.

When a PhaserShare card is purchased initially with the printer, it is installed at the factory. When a PhaserShare card is purchased later as an upgrade kit, follow the instructions in Installing PhaserShare Cards in Tektronix Printers to install the card.

Note: Make sure that the printer is turned off before making any Ethernet connections.
